Although Flora has a bad health due to asthma, fate has gifted her with extraordinary intelligence. Flora is too young to know a lot of things. However, compare to other children at her age, Flora is more knowledgeable and she is very smart.
She is just a child, who is little over 5 years old. But it didn’t prevent her from understanding the fact that her mother might be more unfortunate than fortunate.
At first, she thought that she saw a hallucination. However, she couldn’t remain calm anymore after hearing the conversation between Peter and the old priest. She was scared and worried when Peter found her. That was also why she acted a little naive.
After calming down, she noticed the environment. At first, she still had a little hope in her heart. Her mother should be fine. She might be hiding at somewhere. She thought and wanted to believe it.
Flora silently nibbled the chocolate and waited for the answer with eyes full of hopes.
She already understood the meaning of death and she doubted whether her mommy also became one of the unfortunate people. Her mommy always told her that God would take away the ones, who loved him, when they died.
Peter looked at the little figure and felt that sadness and worries which suddenly appeared in Flora for unknown reason. He felt that little guy like Flora would not understand a lot of things. But her sudden question showed that he understood Flora.
Peter didn’t waste time in thinking about why and crouched down immediately. Tears were already flowing down on Flora’s little face. Although she was trying to calm down herself, tears just came out as she thought about losing her mother.
Peter took out a napkin from his space ring and wiped the tears and snots of Flora gently. With a pained smile and he said, “A lot of people survived. Although they are no longer the same, they are still them. Flora’s mommy may be still sleeping with them. So, don’t cry. We can go now and search for Flora’s mommy.”
But it didn’t help at all. And even, it broke out Flora’s last defense line. Flora cried out with a wow and she said, “But I saw mommy turned into ash under the light. Mommy left Flora. God took Flora’s mommy. Flora doesn’t have mommy anymore.”
For a moment, Peter didn’t know what to do. He had never met this kind of situation before. In the past, he felt that facing and fighting against smart criminals were the toughest thing to face in life.
Now, he felt that facing a sad and crying child might be the hardest moment in life. The worst thing was he had no idea about how to comfort them.
Peter held Flora in his arm and hoped to comfort her with the embrace. However, it didn’t help at all because all Flora felt was just icy metal touch of armor.
Old priest watched this scene and smiled. For the old man like him, many things couldn’t make him attracted but he always found this kind of scene very interesting. Because it would always remind him of humanity touch.
Peter stood up and asked the old priest, “Old Sir, are all dead souls going to underworld in the form of small colorful light orbs?”
Old priest said calmly, “That is correct. Their memories will slowly disappear and reincarnated into various creatures again. The detail process is quite complicated. But most of dead souls will be brought to the underworld by death messengers after a period of time.”
Peter unbearably glanced down at the sad Flora and decided to ask, “So, old Sir, can one take back the dead soul and reborn as the resurrect again?”
The old priest shook his head and said calmly, “No. Things are not that simple. Even for Gods, it is a difficult problem to resurrect the rootless dead soul again. If you still have a recently died physical body, it is still easy to say.”
“Living a life itself is a constant struggling process against the arrangement of fate. So, rebirth is not a sin as long as you are powerful enough. However, it is almost impossible to resurrect the dead person who didn’t even leave a single part of previous body.”
Peter asked with doubts, “What is the difference?”
Old priest looked up at the small light sphere again and said, “There are many ways to resurrect a dead person. Among them, resurrecting the freshly died person is the easiest one. Because the caster who holds the resurrecting ceremony only needs to do four things.”
He took back his sight again and looked at Peter calmly. He said, “First, the caster needs to purify the soul body, which is already tainted with death energy. After that, he needs to purify the recently bred dead energy in the physical body. These things are easy to do because the recently dead person would not produce too much death energy.”
“The third one is a bit difficult. The caster must solve the cause of death on the already purified physical body and restart the vitality system. However, the fourth one is not that easy. Caster must be a very skillful one. He needs to activate the brain, and connect the soul body to the physical body again.”
“The last step of recreating the connection between soul body and physical body is too difficult. Even many skilled casters have to spend a lot of efforts in the last step.”
“The difficulty of resurrecting process will increase according to the damage taken by the dead person.”
Then, old priest sighed and said, “However, there is no way to resurrect the dead person who didn’t even have a single piece of body. And your little baby’s mother was probably purified by the Holy Light shield and turned into ash. Now, that has become an impossible mission if you wanna resurrect her.”
The old man pointed at the light sphere floating peacefully at the air above the bell tower and asked, “Young knight, can you introduce me more about this Holy Light shield?”
Peter gave the chocolate flavor ice-cream, which he just took out from his space ring, to Flora and asked back, “Is there something bothering you?”
Old priest chuckled, shook his head slightly and said, “This is a miracle, young knight.”
He asked, “Can you tell me the name of the Lord you believe in and your influence?”
Peter introduced, “I believe in Eternal Sun God. He is also the founder of the school; Sacred Heart. We are from a small mercenary guild called Guardian Spirits and our guild is affiliated to Sacred Heart School.”
“Eternal Sun God?”, old priest murmured and took out a metal card in pure dark green color. He pressed his thumb on it for a second and a vertical light curtain appeared.
Various information flashed fast. It seemed that old priest didn’t do anything but he used his soul power to convey information into the metal card.
Soon, the scrolling screen stopped and an influence called Sacred Heart School appeared. Old priest read the various information on the screen fast and passed it to his friends.
After doing what he always wanted to since he arrived here and saw this Holy Light shield, old priest smiled heartily and said, “Boy, you’re so lucky.”
Then, he patted his forehead and said with a laugh, “No, actually, it is not just you but we are all lucky. God with Holy authority has not appeared for a really, really long time. It’s a blessing to all creatures.”
Peter asked with doubts, “What is Holy authority and what’s so special about it?”
Old priest put the metal card back into his storage space and said, “You only need to know that Holy authority holder is a rare benevolent God among Gods.”
Then, he smiled mischievously at Peter and said, “Let’s go out and solve your troubles first. Those guys are going to wake up soon.”
Looking at the back of old priest, who was walking away, Peter looked down at Flora and took a deep breathe. The little guy just kept nibbling the ice-cream in silent. Peter rubbed her hairs gently and followed the old priest in steady pace.
